Picnic on the Island - Shelter Island History
Eric Duvall

SOME PEOPLE KEEP HISTORY ALIVE by retelling it, some by writing it, some by advocating for and protecting the places that hold it, and a rare few do all three. Eric DuVall is one of those rare few.  As president of the Ocean Beach Historical Society and a board member and past president of the La Playa Trail Association, Eric DuVall is a steward of Ocean Beach and Point Loma’s historical and cultural identity and one of the community’s most engaging advocates for local history. Born and raised in San Diego, Eric has a deep personal connection to the peninsula, and it is evident in everything he does. His childhood spent roaming the cliffs and streets of Point Loma laid the foundation for a lifelong curiosity about the places, people, and stories that shape these coastal neighborhoods.
